Lenny Breau dazzled me with his extraordinary guitar playing... I wish the world had the opportunity to experience his artistry.

I've had the pleasure of playing with the baddest Jazz cats on the planet.

I spent a lot of time teaching myself theory and harmony so I could be free to express myself on the instrument.

Never give up on a good thing, never give up, never give up!

I like Simon Cowell - look at how many great artists have come out of the U.K. because of him.

People who love jazz musicians love us when we play what we want to play and we're starving. But as soon as you commercialize your sound like Wes Montgomery did, the jazz fans and the critics are down on you!

I listen to other guitar players, yeah. It gives me new concepts and shows me where the instrument is going for the future and it is going some places. There are some musicians who are really putting out a good vibe with new theories. I try and keep up.
